    1. Gobigorgohome
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      1. SADIO SANÉ

    Looks like my FPL Cup Opponent forgot to hit the Wildcard button. -36 points in transfers. Almost like getting a bye to the next round

    1. Mo Mané Mo Problems
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Almost? It is.

    2. Pukki Party

    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    What's with the Huddersfield line-up? Seem to be benching their best players?
    Protecting them? Caretaker manager a Sterling/Sane owner?

  10. jia you
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Sterling(C) & Sane both start...phew!

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 9 Years

  11. Nascimento
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    City lineup as expected

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Silvas are a bit unexpected

  12. BIGREDDOG
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Kun to punish us for thinking we're clever having a cheap forward line?

    1. JJO
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      nah he will get like 7-9 points

      1. BIGREDDOG
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        I'd take that

  13. The Darkest Knight

    "Its time for PL to reckoning their master." - Kevin De Bruyne.

    1. Nascimento
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      He needs to work on his English

      1. The Darkest Knight
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        who KDB or me...? 😉

        1. BIGREDDOG
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          Facepalm

  14. SEXY SALAH
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    YES KAPTAIN KUN!!!

    1. Top 210 Club
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Yaaaay

  15. SADIO SANÉ
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    of course I was too scared by Kane (and Peptation) to do this move:
    https://www.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/2019/01/10/where-fpl-teams-concede-the-most-chances-from-part-2-2/?hc_page=3&hc_sort_by=comment_date#hc_comment_19672902 🙁 it could have worked a dream

    1. SADIO SANÉ
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      shoutout to zico senna 😀 I posted that move again and got a 'Loooool' from someone else...are Man City that bad!?

      1. SADIO SANÉ
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        holy crap, Fossit (below) was the lol'er haha

    2. Sánchez
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Looked decent on paper too

      1. SADIO SANÉ
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        yeah, it was pre Spurs-United - mugged myself right off

    3. JJO
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      to be fair all changed with that Kane injury

      1. SADIO SANÉ
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        yeah true, basically the reason I didn't do it was so I could captain Kane this week (which in hindsight might not have been very wise either), Anderson had decent fixtures also - still annoying

        1. SADIO SANÉ
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          I made a post about Sterling/Sane not being rotated this month because the cup games were easy and Mahrez would play in them, then I just bottled it

  16. FPL Pillars
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Damn I wanted to punt on Kun but the lord Jesus told me not too. Christ!

    1. M'arvin
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      The Lord Jesus talks to me all the time. I just ignore him and keep on killing.

    2. bolobolo
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Youve choosen the right path my son....world can sometimes confusing...just be patient...time shall come

  17. JJO
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Dont know why are people suprised that KDB starts
    He was the one that will surely start this game in every team combination

    1. The Darkest Knight
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      He is in my WC yeam and I am fookin excited!!!

      1. JJO
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        yeah I wanted to bring him with Sterling
        But kept faking Hazard 🙂

  18. Top 210 Club
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Anyone else take a punt on Aguero (C)? Need him to double my score

    1. El Matador
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Me. Need him to outscore Salah for sure

  19. Jafooli
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    What has Uddersfield done to warrant Pep's wrath?

    1. Mo Mané Mo Problems
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Burton happened.

    2. Sánchez
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      This is going to be a 6-0

      1. Jafooli
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        And some.....I don't even recognise the Udders defenders

    3. BIGREDDOG
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Dilva benched = 1-1

  20. Mo Mané Mo Problems
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    3. ZeBestee
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      First 45 will give you an idea.

    4. My heart goes Salalalalah
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      So you need Sterling 12+ pointer. 50/50 I'd say

  22. Jafooli
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    How is Danilo & Sane's link up on the left?

    1. ZeBestee
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Just like Delph and Sane link-up

    2. Eat my goal!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Wasn’t great last game but sane still did alright

  23. Maddi Son
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    6 changes and the manager talking about playing with intent.

    Naive/10

    6,7 or 8?

    1. Mo Mané Mo Problems
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Lossl 12 pointer.

  24. Eat my goal!
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Kdb becoming an option

    Haz > KDB
    Rich > Alli

    ?

    1. Niho992
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      A not
      B yes

      Sane and Sterling are better options.

  25. Gabistuta
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Praying for a modest green arrow today. Kun Sane Alli Lloris. Cmon boys lets be havin ya! 🙂

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

      2. Gabistuta
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

  26. Bees4Lyf
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Any news on why Billing is not in the squad?

  27. Niho992
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Really dont know how i dont have anyone from City from Palace game...

    I have to bring somebody and watch their games without fear

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Yeah Sane over Alli my transfer in this week partly because of that

  28. Stimps
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    As a city non owner, I fear for this one

    1. Niho992
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Join the club

    2. Amey
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Kun & eriksen blank is the thing I need.

      1. My heart goes Salalalalah
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Yes please

  29. Blame it on Traore
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Mini wildcard with Aguero and one of Sterling or Silva next week it is, then! Haha

  30. ZeBestee
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    I just hope Lossl gets a pen save. Otherwise another negative score is on the cards. Better than playing a non playing player.
